Harvard U

The Greek community may be growing at Harvard, but it's going to stay underground.

The primary reason Harvard won't recognize GLOs (according to Harvard) is that they are single-sex, which violates the university's anti-discrimination policy. Dartmouth notwithstanding, GLOs aren't going co-ed any time soon, and I strongly doubt that Harvard is going to change its anti-discrimination policy. Clubs that have been a part of Harvard for over 100 years are unrecognized because of the policy; they're certainly not going to treat a brand-new AEPi colony any better.

The university is dead serious about nonrecognition. GLO posters are forbidden. The Sigma Chis were prevented from helping freshmen move in. The rules are enforced.

Recognized Greek HOUSING is flat-out never going to happen at Harvard. The university is extremely invested in its randomized housing system, and there is no single-sex or special-interest housing of any kind except for a co-op. The college was dancing for joy when Sigma Chi lost their house.

Researchers in some arm of the university may have released a pro-Greek study, but as for the college welcoming GLOs, well, don't hold your breath.
